Richelieu Eagles (Namibia) are all poised to lock horns with Karnataka in the first 50-over match of the three-match Castle Lite Series at United Cricket Club Ground in Windhoek. The game is expected to take place on June 2, 2023, at 1 PM IST.

Eagles have fared well in their last five ODI games only succumbing to USA and UAE by a margin of 80 and 28 runs respectively. Karnataka ended their 2022 Ranji season on a high and won four out of the last five games. They agonizingly fell short in the first semi-final match losing to Saurashtra by five wickets which lead to their heartbreaking exit from the tournament.

As both sides prepare to have a go at each other, let us look at the top three players whom you should consider picking as your captain or vice-captain for the upcoming RE vs KAR Dream11 prediction match.


#3 Shubhang Hegde (KAR) - 7.5 credits

Hegde is a promising all-rounder who averages 37.11 and 38.33 with the ball in FC and List A cricket respectively. He bowls with a tight economy rate of 3.51 RPO and has achieved the best bowling figures of 4/91 in just a few domestic matches. And with the bat, Hegd averages nearly 43 in both List A and FC cricket which includes his best individual score of 50*

The youngster is a rising talent for Karnataka and is worth including as a captain or vice-captain for your upcoming RE vs KAR Dream11 prediction match.
